  • Olly,

    If you have the cue list and can manipulate it into CSV, you can use that CSV to write an ASCII show file that you can import into a new show file and then merge into your existing show, if any.

    Here's a basic ASCII show file format- it is one instruction per line.  This should get you cue numbers and times.  Lines starting with a ! are comments and not processed.

    Ident 3:0
    ! Cue List Follows
    Cue 1
    Up 5
    Down 5


    Cue 2
    Up 10
    Down 5


    ! End the file with the following command:
    EndData

    You can see more info on the format of the ASCII file at : http://westsidesystems.com/alq/sample.html
